Running .ksh Scripts from Solaris KornShell

Question

I have developed a few KornShell (ksh) scripts to run on Solaris. I run the scripts over Putty. On one server, I am able to run them as follows:

$ script.ksh

On the other, server, I need to run them as follows:

$ ./script.ksh

Otherwise I get a script.ksh not found error. What would cause this difference? I call scripts from within this script, and do not want to have to change all the scripts to append './' to each script invocation in order to get the scripts working.

Both servers uname -a reports following:

$ uname -a = SunOS servername 5.10 Generic_147440-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V245
$ echo $SHELL = /bin/ksh

Solution

Add PATH="$PATH:." to the main script.
